There should be a fanfic writing game called the showrunners challenge where someone writes a story and partway through someone else can play things like "actor leaves after 4000 more words" or "topic now too politically sensitive due to unforeseen world events" or "lost rights to that reference"

anyway the actual point of fandom is to inspire each other. reading each other's fics and admiring each other's art and saying wow i love this and i feel something and i want to invoke this in other people, i want to write a sentence that feels like a meteor shower, i want to paint a kiss with such tenderness it makes you ache, i want to create something that someone else somewhere will see it and think oh, i need to do that too, right now. i am embracing being a corny cunt on main to say inspiring each other is one of the things humanity is best at and one of the things fandom is built for and i think that's beautiful

you know i have never heard a convincing arguement as to why AO3 should not moderate the content that is posted to their website and i think a lot of the arguement against moderation on AO3 boils down to, terminally online people thinks community moderation is the same as government censorship and personally sending the cops to someone’s house to arrest them irl/

Congratulations to the Beyond Evil fandom on ao3 for absolutely killing it so far (they say after reading 4 fics)

normally I’m in the “he would not fucking say that” camp but sometimes he has to fucking say that anyway because it’s so so so funny for him to have said it. he has to betray who he is to make you momentarily question all of your perceptions of him thus far. he has to give you a glimpse into the ever-expanding boundaries of his characterization and pysche. maybe it wasn’t out of character. maybe he’s descending into madness did you consider that

I am actively begging the daredevil fandom to write a fic where Karen is as much of a dnd fan as Ms Deborah Ann Woll herself
Please
There are no fics and I am dying

I am filled with the frantic energy of boredom, introversion, time and procrastination balled up into one slimy globule.
This has resulted in me writing a lot of random fanfiction, so I apologise for what comes out of my word documents.

Doing away with the lame "character gets fat to indicate that they've become a huge loser" trope and replacing it with a new, cooler "character gets fat to indicate they finally feel fulfilled with life" trope

all debates abt the artistic merits of fanfiction fail to recognize the purpose of fic. you don’t write fic to be published or to learn how to construct a narrative although you can use it to develop style. you write it so that your friends will message you “bestie you’re utterly deranged for this one im eating dirt”

there are two types of ao3 authors, the type that will post as they are being set on fire and the type that will post every two years.

It is never just okay writing a character with a distinctive speaking pattern.
It is either very hard or very easy. No inbetween.
